After Wan Peng finished speaking, he looked at Shu San and Lan Jia, waiting for their reactions. Lan Jia didn't seem to have an idea of her own, and also turned to Shu San. Shu San thought for a while, and rubbed his lips repeatedly with his hand, "This...... It's not impossible to interrogate that demon, but that is the person who was caught by the eldest prince Zhu You, and he is also locked up in the prison of the Council of Elders, and it seems that with just a few of us, he may not be able to get the permission to interrogate. ”

"If we can't be arraigned now, then no one will. Now that both princes are dead and the king is missing, Prince Ranga deserves the respect of the Presbyterian Church. It's better to let Prince Lan Jia come forward and make a request to the Council of Elders. ”

Shu San looked at Lan Jia, "However, Prince Lan Jia personally came forward, which doesn't seem to be good for his current safety." Lan Jia's public appearance is tantamount to giving a clear location signal to those who intend to harm him. ”

Wan Peng smiled, "Hey, do you think that with this person's skills, if you want to harm Lan Jia, what difference does it make whether he appears publicly or not? Moreover, if this is really the devil's doing, it is also an excellent way for us to prepare in advance." ”

Lan Jia said at this time, "Well, that's right, if it's really a demon, it's even more dangerous if we wait." Uncle and uncle, please send a team of men, and we will go to the Presbyterian Church. ”

Shu San still hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, and with Wan Peng Lanjia and others, he left the secret room, arrived at the guard camp, selected a team of henchmen, and hurriedly set off to the Council of Elders. Fortunately, there was no more chaos along the way, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The process of entering the presbytery was actually much easier than they thought. The duty of the Council of Elders is to protect the Purple Mansion and assist the royal family, and now that the royal princes have come forward, although they do not yet know the news that the king has disappeared, Lan Jia's words must still be heard.

In view of the particularity of the demon in the Council of Elders, in order to ensure justice, especially to prevent other extraneous things, the Great Elder decided to interrogate this demon with the third prince Lan Jia.

The environment in which this demon was imprisoned was much more complicated than that of Wanpeng at that time, and after walking through a lot of secret passages, he entered a heavily guarded hall, and then entered three iron gates, and passed through two early warning mechanisms before he reached the outside of a cell. The cells were built underground, and the four walls, ceilings, and floors were made of composite materials, and if you tried to break through them using magic tricks or violence, you would inevitably make a huge noise, attracting the attention of the guards outside.

To enter the cell, one has to go through three gates, each with a separate code. The Great Elder led them to personally unlock the code one by one, that is, Prince Lan Jia was present, and the Great Elder's method of decryption was also deliberately disguised, and he didn't want anyone to see it.

After opening the cell, the furnishings inside were far more special than Wan Peng imagined.

The ceiling, walls, and floors are as smooth as mirrors, all made of large strips of brick-shaped materials, and there are some formation patterns on them, but they are not complicated. Wan Peng didn't study much about what these formations were, because his eyes were attracted by a chair facing the door.

There was a man sitting in a chair with his back to them and his hair loose. The man's clothes were the same as the clothes of the sixteen elders that Wan Peng had seen before, but under this unkempt hair, it looked a little formal.

The Great Elder walked in, followed by four guards, two stood at the door, and two others walked to either side of the demon. However, as soon as they walked over, they looked at each other, and then one of them turned his head and looked at the Great Elder, "Great Elder! ”

From the expression of this guard, Wan Peng shouted in his heart that it was not good. Several people stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and the scene in front of them made people take a breath of cool air.

This demon was actually hit with a sword in the chest. The sword did not pierce the body, but it stabbed the place of the heart, leaving a hole in the chest. The wound seemed to have been treated with a special method, and only a small amount of blood flowed out, not even a drop on the ground, which is why they didn't notice anything unusual when they first came in.

And look at this demon again, his face is pale, his breath is gone, and he is already dead. However, judging from the process of the demon's death, the fact that the mist did not disappear means that the time of death is not long. Wan Peng touched the fingertips of this demon with his hand, and there was still temperature, which was basically consistent with their inference of the time of death.

Wan Peng sighed and did not speak. The Great Elder frowned at this time and gave an order to the four guards, "Go and find out who has been here during this time, and if there are any special spiritual power fluctuations!"

The four guards responded and retreated in unison. Wan Peng shook his head, "Great Elder, with all due respect, I'm afraid I won't be able to find out the results." Previously, we experienced an incident that was similar to this, and we couldn't find out the results either. The man who killed this demon did not act until soon before we came. However, he escaped from everyone's eyes and ears and killed the demon unconsciously. ”

A sad look gradually appeared on the Great Elder's face, "There are many doubts about this demon, if he dies, it will be too great a loss to us. I must report to the king and ask him to decide what to do next. ”

When he said this, Wan Peng turned his head to look at Lan Jia and Shu San. The two of them also hesitated for a moment before Lan Jia took a step forward and said, "Great Elder, maybe, you won't see your father anymore." Because we just came from there. All the guards around my father were stabbed to death, and my father didn't know where to go. ”

The Great Elder's eyes widened, obviously unable to believe what Lan Jia said, "What...... What? How can this be? Are you sure the king is not leaving temporarily?"

Shu San took over at this time and said, "Great Elder, it is indeed as Prince Lan Jia said. Moreover, the situation in the King's place is very similar to here. It is precisely because we are thinking about it, and we are afraid that these things are related to the devil, so we are in a hurry to interrogate this demon. But now, it seems that our only clue is broken again. ”

The Great Elder was obviously still a little unconvinced, and the third uncle reported all the details of these things he knew to the Great Elder one by one. After a long time, the Great Elder sighed, "If this happens, I'm afraid that our Purple Mansion will face a great dilemma." We must immediately convene a council of elders to consider what to do. ”

"Elder. Wan Peng seemed to be soliciting opinions first, and seeing that the Great Elder did not stop him from speaking, he continued, "Now, the situation is unclear, and we have to prepare more often. First of all, it is necessary to guard against the Ape Clan, in case this matter has something to do with the Ape Clan, then next, they are very likely to invade when the Purple Mansion is at its weakest. Second, we must strictly guard against demons, there are demons in the Purple Mansion, the last time I came back with Lan Jia, on the way to the Council of Elders, I met a demon who wanted to assassinate Lan Jia. Third, Lan Jia may now become the next target, and I hope that the Great Elder will try to find a way to protect it. ”

The Great Elder nodded, "What you said is extremely true, and you also have your opinions, plus you are back with Lan Jia, you should be allowed to participate in the discussion of some things and the formulation of plans." But, after all, you are an outsider, and there is no way to discuss politics with other elders. What you think, I will reflect to the elders. You can rest assured. ”

Wan Peng clenched his fists, "These things, the Great Elder must have thought of them, Wan Peng is here, it's just a matter of talking." ”

The Great Elder shook his head, "No, as an outsider, you can see more objectively and thoroughly, and I didn't think too much about these points just now. Without further ado, I'll have people continue to dig deeper, and I'll gather the elders. Prince Lan Jia's words...... "The Great Elder hesitated, "In order to prevent accidents, it is better to go to the security control room of the Council of Elders to rest first." ”

Lan Jia and Shu San glanced at each other, and Shu San agreed for Lan Jia. Several people immediately returned to the outside, and in the process, another team came over to conduct a more detailed on-site inspection.

However, even if these people are more professional, Wan Peng does not feel that they can find anything valuable.

The presbytery's security room was a relatively safe place and a resting place for the king every time he came to the presbytery. There are three layers of guards inside and outside, and there are 10 escape routes in one room, plus other safety prevention and control measures, it is indeed the best choice for temporary evacuation.

Wan Peng, Lan Jia, Xie Ting and Shu San entered the security control room, and they couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Originally, everything should be going well in the Purple Mansion, especially with a prince by his side, it is very likely to be smooth, but now it is about to end up in such a situation of hiding in Tibet. Of course, this is not because of him, he may be in Zifu, such a day, sooner or later, he will come, it's just that he just caught up with this time.

Time seems to pass slowly, and waiting under the faint fear is not an easy thing to endure. It's just a pillar of incense that has passed, but the four of them feel like it's been half an hour.

Suddenly, the Yuyuan sword in Wan Peng's Na ring trembled slightly, and then it emerged from the Na ring and hovered in front of Wan Peng's body, the sword body was white and bright, as if it was attacking.

Wan Peng was shocked. The Yuyuan Sword has never had its own drive, and it will not have a similar autonomous reaction, how could it suddenly break the ring?

And the third uncle, who was already nervous, had not reached a sufficient level of trust in Wan Peng, so he directly showed his weapon at this time, and took a step forward to block in front of Lan Jia, "What do you want to do?"

Wan Peng was about to explain, but found that he didn't have time to explain.

Behind Lan Jia, a small rift like a crack appeared in the void, connecting this space with another dimension. And in this small crack, there is a glimmer of ghostly light, shining brightly.

Sword light!

Assassinate others through the change of space!In an instant, Wan Peng seemed to solve all the unsolved puzzles.

The sword body has already revealed more than three inches from the crack, and it is about to stab Prince Lanjia's body!
